      The untold story of the time when the New York Yankees were a laughingstockand how out of that abyss emerged the modern Yankees dynasty, one of the greatest in all of sports

      Chumps to Champs
    • A book for everyone brought up in the 1950/60s and one which every modern-day parent should read and then pass it on, or read, to their children. It is a light-hearted book, but with serious implications at times, of the upbringing of a young boy, the author, on a North Lancashire farm, and of his life experiences gained. It portrays traditional farming as a way of life of the time, in which every family member was expected to contribute in some way, shape or form, for the smooth running of operations. It also covers the author's introduction to the many and varied country pursuits and pastimes which he enjoys to this day. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes sombre, but never boring, the author transports us through the many and varied situations he encountered in his formative years. By today's standards, the freedom he was given by his parents, to roam and explore the area surrounding his home, would not be countenanced. More's the pity, for a better upbringing and stress-free way of living for a youngster would be hard to envisage.
